These are the strategies, technologies, or adjustments that enable the student to reach prescribed outcomes, whether they are for regular, modified, or individualized programming. Planning with accommodations only, applies to the students in the regular classroom for whom the grade level curriculum outcomes of the subject area have not been changed, but for whom accommodations are required because of processing, physical, and/or emotional difficulties that have been observed and documented over an extended period of time, and without which the student would not be able to access the regular curriculum. The need of a SEP outlining accommodations will be the responsibility of both the classroom teacher and the resource teacher in consultation with the parent(s), as well as the school-based Student Services Team, should the former feel it necessary to involve the whole team. This type of planning needs to be documented using an accommodations checklist. With planning for accommodations only, specific goals and measurable outcomes will not be stated on the SEP form as they are articulated in the grade level curriculum documents. Accommodations can apply to one course/subject or to all courses/subjects, depending on the needs of the student. Planning of this type needs to be reviewed at reporting time, and adjusted accordingly. Summative evaluation of the efficacy of the plan should occur at the end of the year.
